To The Max

This week has been a fun one for the kids and I. It is bitter sweet for us that our friends of forever, the Maxwells, came to visit us. We had SO much fun having them, but it is sad to say goodbye. Cindee drove over from Minden, Nevada with the two youngest children Hannah and Tanner. They were all so much help with the chillin's, plus Hannah is a super babysitter! She is just like I was when I was her age. That is exactly how I became friends with Cindee 18 years ago! (I can't believe I'm that old) I took care of her children way back when the oldest, Blake, was 2 and Scott was a new baby. I was almost as good as part of the family. Cindee and her hubby, Rob, helped me learn and grow in so many ways from the time I was 12, and first started babysitting for them, up until now when I am still taking notes and learning by example from them as parents. I was going to tell you when you were here Cindee, but we were too busy shopping, swimming, and having fun. (oh and making keys!) I love you so much. Thanks for everything, especially for making the effort to come to see us! Hailey has good taste in friends, and decided that Cindee should be her new best friend too!

Hannah became Carter's new mommy while she was here. He loves her!

They're going to kill me for this one! It was really bright! : )

What can I say... this is what happens to people who come to stay with us for 4 days!
